WHEN SATAN EATS WITH YOU

739

“The Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, sat with a man who was eating. He did not pronounce the Name of Allah until only a mouthful of the food was left. As he raised it to his mouth he said, ‘In the Name of Allah, in its beginning and at its end.’ The Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, smiled at this and said, ‘satan was eating with him, but when he pronounced the Name of Allah, satan vomited all he had eaten.’"

Abu Daud and Nisai with a chain up to Umayyah, the son of Makhsi who related this.
